I remember being out there in my city on May 1st. It was a very passionite day for me. Seeing everyone come out with their kids and grandparents. It was one of those times where I felt I was part of something. I felt felt everyone their knew what it was like to hear their family member was being deported.

Thanks for posting this, I will pass this along. I don’t normally see this kind of stuff when I come onto 12oz, I see the exact opposite. Shit, I got a nega props the other day saying “kill yourself nigger.” Shit like that doens’t make me want to come here anymore. But this video you posted does.

Ket grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. From a young age, he fell in love with Hip Hop culture and the graffiti art movement, During his college days at New York University, he founded STRESS, a publication dedicated to celebrating urban communities, Hip Hop culture and educating youth about their rights. This magazine went on to have international distribution and being translated into Spanish language as well. Through Stress magazine, Ket created a program with Riker’s Island prison to donate magazines to inmates and to take Hip Hop musicians to perform at the prison system in order to reduce violence and connect them with the outside world. He was also one of the founders of Black August, a collective made up of Stress magazine staff and The Malcolm X Grassroots movement, in order to raise money and support for political prisoners and exchange music and ideas with youth in countries with emerging Hip Hop scenes like Cuba. Most recently he was a founder of Complex magazine along with Marc Ecko, and started a publishing imprint, From Here to Fame, to preserve Hip Hop’s rich history and to provide an imprint for marginalized writers and artists. He also has served as a consultant to Ecko Unlimited on both their apparel and video game businesses, MTV, Lugz, Vibe magazine, PepsiCo, Timberland, Azzure Denim, and many other brands.
